I had taken this from an article I read as I thought we could all use a good challenge to start off our February on the right foot.
The Clutter-Free Feb challenge is simple:
On day one you get rid of one thing. Easy right? On day two you remove two pieces of clutter and on day three, you get rid of three things. On day four you get rid of four items and so on. By the end of February, you will have eliminated 406 items from your home.
It may seem intimidating when you get up into the double digits, but once you start sorting through piles of paper, broken pens, old clothes, and stray Tupperware lids, you’ll be surprised by how quickly the numbers start to add up.
Here is a list to help to declutter during the first month.
Day 1 – Sort recipes into categories & organize them
Day 2 – Declutter & organize cookbooks
Day 3 – Declutter & organize water bottles
Day 4 – Declutter Kitchen drawers
Day 5 – Get the clutter out of the house by donating if possible
Day 6 – Declutter the top of kitchen cabinets
Day 7 – Put small recycling bins throughout the house & place trash bins throughout the home
Day 8 – Create a home recycling center
Day 9 – Declutter grocery bags both plastic and reusable
Day 10 – Declutter plastic silverware and other takeout containers/supplies
Day 11 – Declutter or recycle old batteries & light bulbs

Each day spend 15 minutes on your decluttering mission and by the end of the month, you will have clean and clear cupboards, and drawers, and be clutter-free.
Until next time,
